Jacopo,

As I wrote to other candidates, we like to see some patch submeitted by 
candidates to help us evaluate their skills.

It seems that one outstanding issue with Roberto's overhaul of odepkg
was that some tests that where present in the previous version were removed.

Could you work on fixing this issue and send a patch for evaluation?
